Query containment is a fundamental algorithmic problem in database query processing and optimization. Under set semantics, the query-containment problem for conjunctive queries ha...
Abstract. We continue a study initiated by Kraj´ıˇcek of a Resolutionlike proof system working with clauses of linear inequalities, R(CP). For all proof systems of this kind Kra...
The imposition of general disjunctions of the form “πx ≤ π0 ∨ πx ≥ π0 + 1”, where π, π0 are integer valued, is a fundamental operation in both the branch-and-bound...
The two-dimensional layout optimization problem reinforced by the efficient space utilization demand has a wide spectrum of practical applications. Formulating the problem as a non...
The Integral-Inequality Method is a new way of tackling the delay-dependent stabilization problem for a linear system with time-varying state and input delays: x(t) = Ax(t) + A1x(...
